Harleen Pentlia
Associate
Harleen is devoted. She knows that clients’ stories are meaningful. When clients work with Harleen they tell us that she heard them, she listened, and she provided solutions and advice tailored to their needs. That’s Harleen’s style, naturally.
Whether she’s whipping up a fresh apple pie in the kitchen or breaking a sweat at yoga, Harleen can take the heat. Innately curious, she channels her mantra that “you don’t know what you don’t know” into learning about a matter from all vantage points. Harleen’s open mind and penchant for exploration has led her to cultivate a diverse litigation practice, including class actions, bankruptcy and insolvency, estates, professional negligence, defamation, product liability, and general commercial litigation.
If you knew Harleen in law school, where she did a clinical placement at the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic, you would not be surprised to learn that she spends her downtime volunteering at two organizations dedicated to the upward mobility of folks in Canada. For Harleen, a sense of duty is key to a purposeful life. This is something we can definitely get behind.
